Beginning
the week of August 4, 2015, through 2017, Empire Avenue and Victory
Place will have a new traffic configuration that will prohibit left turns,
reduce lanes and remove parking, as follows:

➤ Left Turns Prohibited: Left turns from
northbound Victory Place to westbound Empire Avenue, and from eastbound Empire
Avenue to northbound Victory Place will be prohibited.

➤ Lanes Reduced: Traffic on Empire
Avenue will be reduced to one lane in each direction between Victory Place and
Valpreda Street.

➤ Parking Removed: Street parking on
the north side of Empire Avenue will be removed between Victory Place and Valpreda
Street.

This
new traffic configuration is necessary to allow crews to construct the new
Empire Avenue I-5 interchange.

The
work is part of the I-5 Empire Project, a series of improvements to I-5 in Burbank
between Magnolia Boulevard and Buena Vista Street, including: carpool lanes,
elevated railroad tracks, reconfigured ramps, a new interchange and
undercrossing at Empire Avenue, widening of the Burbank Boulevard Bridge, and
more.
